Author's Note: I'm not very happy with this chapter, but it's what I wrote. My plan was actually to delete this story because it wasn't going well, but then I got a review so I felt guilty. Plus I promised angel-san801 that I wouldn't give up on writing fanfic. Anyway, I know this isn't any good, but it's my first story ever so maybe I'll get better? Anyway here's a short crappy chapter. There will be sex in the next one.
Chapter 2 The Tree Grows
Rikuo hadn't even been driving for an hour, but Kazahaya was already asleep in the seat beside him. Rikuo glanced over at him and smiled. Kazahaya's head was leaned against his shoulder, lips slightly parted, strands of hair spilling into his face. When he stopped for gas, Rikuo gently moved his hair behind his ear.
"Rikuo…" Kazahaya mumbled in his sleep.
What did he just say?
Rikuo looked down and saw a bulge building in Kazahaya's pants.
"Rikuo…" Kazahaya said again, more of a moan this time. Rikuo smirked. It was that kind of dream. He wondered how he was doing. From the sound of that moan, not too bad. But, you know what they say about good things. They have to end. Rikuo grabbed Kazahaya's shoulder and shook it.
"W-wah!" Kazahaya woke up, startled. He looked around, getting his bearings, then remembered what he'd been dreaming and looked down and saw the results.
"A-ah! I-I…" He tried to shield the sight with his hands.
Rikuo continued to smirk.
"Having dreams like that in the car? Do you have any clean thoughts? You must be insatiable in bed."
"S-shut up!" Kazahaya blushed.
"Dreaming about anyone we know?"
Kazahaya gasped. He didn't know who he was dreaming about, did he?
"No." He glared.
"All right. Well, you need a drink or anything from here? We're almost there."
"No, I'm fine."
"'kay." Rikuo got out of the car and went into the gas station. Kazahaya waited in the car and prayed for his… predicament… to go down.
…..
"Well, this is it." Rikuo said, pulling up to the curb.
"Wow, this place is huge!" Kazahaya exclaimed, climbing out of the car and looking up at the large colonial style house in front of him. He paused.
"We're breaking in, aren't we?" He asked, dreading the answer.
Rikuo shook his head and grabbed a set of keys from the glove box, shaking them for Kazahaya to see.
"Wait, we've got keys? Does that mean that this house belongs to whoever sent us? Why can't they just get it themselves then?"
Rikuo shrugged.
"That's the job. We've got to dig something up in the backyard." Rikuo popped the trunk and grabbed a shovel. He walked up to the house and unlocked the door. Kazahaya followed RIkuo inside.
"This house is beautiful." Kazahaya said, looking around.
"Or it used to be."
"Mm." The place was pretty dusty and looked like it had been abandoned for a while. But the rooms were large and the furniture and knic knacks all looked expensive and carefully chosen.
"Quit looking around and hurry up. I don't want the place to fall in on us."
Kazahaya followed Rikuo out the door to the backyard.
"So, do we know exactly where we're supposed to di- Ah!" Kazahaya tripped, falling into a huge hole. When he hit the ground, he was knocked unconscious.
"Unnngh…" Kazahaya started to open his eyes. As they came into focus, he saw a face leaning over him, staring at him.
"Ahh!" he exclaimed. He instinctively jumped back, but hit his head on the headboard. Looking around he saw he was in a four poster bed. The room was stone and had empty picture frames hanging on the walls.
"Hello!" The girl replied, smiling. "I was worried. You've been out for a while."
"W-who are you?"
"My name is Rachel. Who are you?"
"I'm Kazahaya… Wait, but where are we?"
"We're in my castle. It's nice that you're here, I've been waiting for a long time."
"Waiting? For what?"
"My prince. And his first kiss that will wake me from this place."
"Ah! Y-you don't think I'm your prince, do you?"
Rachel shook her head. "No, you're like me. You're waiting for someone. Now we can wait together. Now, sleep." She put her hand on Kazahaya's forehead and he suddenly felt overwhelmed with tiredness. He fell back into the bed, asleep.
…..
"Kakei! What the hell's going on?" Rikuo yelled into his cell, panicked. "Kazahaya just fell through the fucking ground!" And indeed, Rikuo had just seen Kazahaya trip over nothing, and fall straight into the dirt before him. It was confusing.
"I thought that might happen."
"You thought that might happen? Didn't want to give me a heads up or anything?"
"Well, you know what your purpose always is when you two go on missions. Kazahaya uses his unique skills, it goes awry, you save him."
"So I'm supposed to save him from clumsiness that defies the laws of physics?"
"Yes."
"How?"
"Just dig him out."
"You mean he's actually in the ground?"
"Yes. You'll want to hurry. He has a spell on him, but that doesn't mean he has endless amounts of oxygen. His life really is at risk."
Rikuo's chest tightened at this, and without saying anything, he hung up the phone. He picked up the shovel and began to dig. He continued to dig for hours, and by the time he hit anything, it was dark. He sighed in relief as he leaned against the shovel, sweat pouring down his face. He dug around until the entire thing was unsurfaced. And it was… a coffin.
"Well, that's promising for him being alive." Rikuo backed up and pulled the coffin open. Inside, lay Kazahaya, motionless.
"C'mon…" Rikuo said, worried. He leaned down and shook Kazahaya. He didn't move. He placed his hand on his chest, and didn't feel it rise and fall. Rikuo started pressing on his chest, beginning CPR. After a few moments, he leaned down and put his lips on Kazahaya's, to which he was met with a sharp intake of breath. Rikuo pulled back and breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're alive."
"You had your lips on me!" Kazahaya shrieked, wiping his mouth. "Oh shit, that counted as a kiss, didn't it? That's what-"
"Where's the book?"
"What?"
"Where's the book we were here for?"
"Umm… " Kazahaya sat up and looked around. Rikuo leaned in close, arm behind Kazahaya.
"W-what are you doing?"
"Here it is." Rikuo pulled his arm back and showed him the book that he'd apparently been laying on.
"O-oh. Well, let's get it back then!" Kazahaya jumped up and started climbing out of the hole. Rikuo shook his head and followed.
